Barcelona-Senior Trip

Barcelona was the destination for this year's senior class trip. We had a fantastic time. Our adventure included: a flamenco show, taking a flamenco dance lesson, learning to cook paella and a couple of side dishes, a street photo tour, getting lost in a labyrinth, dashing around on a segway, experiencing art, Sagrada Familia, hiking 5 km up to Montserrat Monastery...below are selected images from the trip...sorry about the watermarks-will learn to take them off next time.

All it takes is a couple of people to climb the sculpture and fall off the mountain to warrant a fence.
Once at the top and on the other side of the Montserrat monastery is a lovely walk: Cami dels Degotalls.
